Brief Summary:
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of DASH diet and Progressive muscle relaxation on cardiovascular risks in postmenopausal women
Detailed Description:
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in men and women but the incidence of cardiovascular disease related deaths is higher in women than men Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease Aging in both men and women is characterized by increases in blood pressure BP but the age-related increases are more rapid in women particularly postmenopausal women than in men
A variety of non-pharmacologic treatments to manage stress have been found effective in reducing blood pressure and the development of hypertension The DASH eating pattern promotes blood pressure reduction by encouraging the consumption of foods that are low in saturated fat total fat cholesterol and sodium and high in potassium calcium magnesium fiber and protein In terms of actual food choices the DASH eating pattern encourages whole grains fat free or low-fat dairy products fruits vegetables poultry fish and nuts Foods that are limited include fatty meats full-fat dairy products tropical oils eg coconut palm and palm kernel oils and sweets and sugar sweetened beverages
The mechanism by which relaxation techniques lower blood pressure is unclear One theory suggests that they may help lower the stress and physiologic arousal produced by the autonomic nervous system thereby reducing blood pressure So this study is a trial to determine the effect of DASH diet and progressive muscle relaxation in reducing cardiovascular risks in postmenopausal women
